I can still remember Avocado's number - yes we called it Avocado too. I have forgotten the phone number on the blackboard the first day of class. Some intepid soul finally gathered the courage to ask what the number was. Our rather gruff acting chem instructor looked at us over the top of his glasses, and told us it was the number for the Truck Driving Academy for anyone who didn't pass his Chemistry Class.

That just means it's hard to win with unhappy players as well. He's obviously a good coach, but it is most certainely easier to win when you're loaded at every position. Muschamp losing 6 games his first season with a ton of attrition is because players can't do whatever they want now...

he CANNOT coach 3* talent...which is where his medical condition surfaced...I believe it to be a rash of some form...and thus when he saw an opportunity to once again sieze 5* talent to the north...alas he was cured...like the flavoring of a lovely Easter ham...though more harmful to the wellbeing of those around him...

This may not be a big deal, but man do some sports writers smell blood in the water, similar to when Rich Rod was here. This could get very interesting (not in relation to this particular story, but sports writers now know Meyer can be exposed).

I've thought the same thing. I kicked around the idea of posting a diary about the similarities between the two hires, but didn't know how receptive the board would be to it, with all the dead horses littered around here.

- Jilted former fanbases

- Accusations of infidelity (however unfounded they may be)

- Both run new offenses

- Both seen as mercenaries more than company men

- Media has seemed to latch onto the negative side of both of their backstories

- Well heralded for turning their former teams around and making them annual BCS threats.

Compare that to the hiring of Hoke, or for that matter a guy like Kelly at ND, and its interesting to see that they've both followed a similar trajectory as of now.
